    I am looking for a used 296 GTB.

    After watching the review from Harry’s Garage on YouTube () where he states that he had to switch off ADAS before every drive, I am a bit unsure.


    Car is Eu version (Switzerland) delivered in March 2024 and has no ADAS. But has

    - ACPL Apple Carplay
    - AFS1 Adaptive Frontlight System
    - BRAD Back Radar
    - FCAM Advanced Front Driving Camera
    - HWCO MyFerrari Connect Readiness HW
    - PAC1 Parking camera
    - PAR2 Front and rear Parking Sensors
    - WIRE Wireless Smartphone Charger
    - And lots of other options

    According to Harry Metcalfe one must disengage the nannies (speed warnings, lane assist etc.) every time before driving off.

    Here are my questions:

    1. Does anyone know if this is true for a 3/2024 EU model without ADAS but with all the options above?
    2. If so, is there a fast way to switch them off or do I have to go through the menus every time before starting the car?
    3. Car has Apple Cary play but I have an Android phone. Is there a way to add Android Auto to the car? Maybe I just buy an iPhone for navigation.

    Thanks in advance

    I believe cars that left the factory after the Aug 2024 shutdown have those, along with a slightly changed wheel w indentations for the haptic button.

    March 2024 do not have it. It takes 2 clicks and 2 seconds to turn off mine, but must be done on every start up.

    my sept 2024 car unfortunately have it

    You are 100% correct . Harry jumped into a car , did not read the manual and then went on a rant .

    His is a UK car so it needs disabling every drive. However the process can be much faster
